SHIT HAPPENS, I NEVER TOUCHED HERION TILL I WAS 48 YRS OLD AND SHIT ALMOST KILLED ME 2TWICE,NO ONE EVEN KNEW I WAS DOING IT EITHER
Thing I don't get is why make the move from oxy's or nubain to heroin? Synthetic versions of heroin just not powerful enough? Getting high with needles in the bodybuilding world shouldn't come as a surprise though I suppose...
yes back in 95
never did needles with heroin,only snort it. ive never used oxy's or nubain really,i went straight to heroin from the jump.it was a bad move and i regret it,been 1 yr now ive been using it and its hell. i was never an angel and partied in my day but never was an addict till last yr
Hear you bro. Ive done nearly every street drug available at one time or another but NEVER had the urge to try heroin. Would never consider even going out looking for it. Not sure what state of mind i'd have to be in to go that direction. Good luck with the fight man , addictions are a terrible animal.
COOL PICS MIKE,THANKS MAN. PAUL SEEMED LIKE A REALLY GOOD GUY
n/p! (and he really was/he was very well liked in the Boston area) before I even knew him/he would bring in trash bags full of "Met-Rx" protein powder to the "Palace Niteclub" where I worked and give them all to me...simply for letting him in/not wait in line...I mean how cool was that for me!?!?...just a great guy) * let me just "edit" this for friends of his/mine that knew him/might be reading this....He was def not perfect (did some "shady" things to good friends regarding their girlfriends/fiancés whatever) but basically/esp in the beginning of his "fame" he was a good hardworking/humble "blue collar" Boston boy!) *
mike that's awesome you were in that mix there,,jersey was same way local wise ..I used to see dente around he was huge and greek mentis ..
Mentis moved down to S.FL. and trained at Golds Gym in Sunrise around 96 or 97. Used to talk to him all the time.
I hung with Paul for a weekend in Toronto very shortly after he won his pro card. He WAS NOT short (but for some reason appeared as he might be in photos). I am an even six feet, and he was right around my height, give or take an inch. He was also MASSIVE. His arm girth as a whole was possibly the freakiest I have ever seen. Just insane. I enjoyed his company and found him to be mostly quiet and reserved. He wasn't some blowhard, that's for sure. One night we went to a local bar and he was not that muscle guy at the clubs who struts and pushes his weight around. Paul was polite and friendly with everyone.It's incredibly sad what became of his young life. I choose to remember Paul as the gigantic muscle man with a quick smile and friendly demeanor.
He's 5'10" well was , Platz is 5'7"
Platz was shy of 5'7". Read an old article of his where he said he used to have people try and stretch his legs in hopes that he would hit 5'7" but never was successful.Demayo was 5'10".
who cares his quads were insane. His hard core training in squats was way above most pros at that time...i would say all time. No pro now has his strength and staminia .. Tell me or show me a pro now?
For this that saw Paul, how big was he back in the day ? Size wise compared to today's Pros ?
gym we all trained at...
SICK BUILD...
Heroin is far less dangerous than shit like crack, meth and similar... Addiction is the problem, physical and especially psychological... Still, in my humble opinon, heroin gives you the best feeling a human being can experience in an entire lifetime... Really a love-hate relationship...
Paul Demayo had some good bodyparts---triceps, quads, but he was put together kinda "oddly". And I think his conditioning kinda suffered. He didn't come out with a "bang" like other bbers of that era, and he didn't do too well in contests.
